Freetown sees first case of COVID-19
According to the Town of Freetown, a resident in Freetown has tested presumptive positive for COVID-19. The town said in a statement that the resident is currently in quarantine now and has been for a few days now.
The Town wanted to remind residents to make sure they are practicing good social distancing, washing hands regularly, using hand sanitizer when thorough washing isn’t a possibility, avoiding face touching, coughing into an elbow and staying home from work when not well.
It is also important to call your primary care physician or local emergency room if you feel you meet the criteria for testing; do not simply show up to the office.
Mansfield and Easton have also confirmed cases. Today the Massachusetts Department of Public Health stated that there were 5 confirmed cases in Bristol County and 218 in the state.
